"I just wanted to thank you for not only fixing my car, but for also delivering “her” back to me in such beautiful condition. Your attention to all the details was evident from the moment I brought it in to be fixed…You guys are terrific!"

Liz Brunner, Channel 5 Anchor

"Paul and his crew did an absolutely awesome job. I damaged the right rear door and quarter panel on my 2016 Tesla Model S. I picked it up this morning and it was as if I had just driven it from the dealer. This firm is very professional and did everything they said they would."

Joseph L., Sharon, MA

"Not only was the quality exceptional and done on the scheduled promised, but also Paul made the process of dealing with insurance companies, rental car agencies, and appraisers much easier for me. In fact, I did little more than arrive at his shop and he took care of the rest. Paul is a great advocate for his customers."

Frank Gentile

"Paul was so incredibly helpful. It’s great to have a resource like this where you can have the confidence that you are working with a true professional committed to offering the best service."

Q

What makes our auto body shop superior?

Customer Service. Allston Collision Center is unequivocally the best at customer service. Our attention to detail, quality control and customer safety are unparalleled.

Q

What type of paint do we use?

Allston Collision Center uses waterborne paints. Waterborne paint uses water instead of solvents. Many major auto manufacturers have been using waterborne paints since 2006. When the technology became available to us, and we realized we would still serve the needs of our customers, we switched to the more GREEN technology and sustainable auto body services.

Q

What type of parts do we use?

Allston Collision Center uses various types of parts (OEM, aftermarket or used). This is determined by individual insurance company requirements as well as customer requests. We discuss with the customer, on a case-by-case basis, what the insurance company has determined we use and then, with the guidance of our Appraiser, it is decided what is best for a particular vehicle.

Q

Do we guarantee our work?

All automotive work that Allston Collision Center has performed is guaranteed until you sell the vehicle. Now, how many auto body shops in Boston can make a promise like that?

Our History

The Chaet family has a history rich in collision repair professionals. Three generations have served the Boston area with superior work, customer service and an unbeatable guarantee.

The Chaet family history begins with Paul’s grandfather, Dave, who opened up shop in 1928 in the Boston area. By 1961 the operation is moved to its current location of 420 Cambridge Street, Allston, Massachusetts with Paul’s father, Mick, at the helm. In 2000, Paul Chaet and Elaine O’Neill took the reigns and are proud to continue in the footsteps of our predecessors. The year 2008 marks the 80th year a Chaet family member will continue the commitment that began with the talent of a grandfather willing to teach.

Allston Collision Center thanks all our past, current and future customers for allowing us to be of service. Allston Collision Center would also like to recognize all of its personnel for their efforts and contributions to our operation.
